The Senate Concurrent Resolution establishes the Task Force on Blight in Louisiana, aimed at studying and recommending a comprehensive plan to address property blight throughout the state. Recognizing the persistent issue of dilapidated properties and overgrown lots, the resolution highlights the legislative efforts made over the past four decades to combat blight, including the Urban Land-Banking Law, the Slum Clearance Law, and the Louisiana Housing Preservation Act. The task force is tasked with developing a strategic plan that incorporates data-driven decision-making and resource deployment to revitalize affected areas.

The task force will consist of various appointed members, including legislative leaders, mayors from key cities, and representatives from relevant associations and state departments. It is required to submit a written report with recommendations and legislative proposals by March 1, 2026. The task force will operate under the Open Meetings Law and will be staffed by the Senate Committee on Local and Municipal Affairs. Members will serve without compensation, and the task force will dissolve upon the submission of its report or by June 1, 2026, whichever comes first.
